When it comes to your Cadillac Brougham, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Brougham has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Brougham, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1987 Cadillac Brougham!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Cadillac, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Brougham running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1987 Cadillac Brougham problems later.

Overview of Essential Cadillac Brougham Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1987 Cadillac Brougham and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check.

Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Brougham's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1987 Cadillac Brougham. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Brougham may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Cadillac Brougham battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Brougham) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Cadillac Brougham won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
